New Kindle Fire HD sports 2560x1600 display

Amazon’s new Kindle Fire HD tablet is on the way and now we’ve got some actual specs as well. The tablet appeared on GFXBench, thus joining the long list of Android devices that were leaked through benchmark apps.

The new Kindle features a Qualcomm 800 SoC clocked at 2.15GHz, backed by an Adreno 330 GPU. The screen resolution has been bumped up to 2560x1600, which would make the new 8.9-inch Kindle stand out as the tablet with the highest ppi.

Several weeks ago it was rumoured that the new Kindle would be powered by a MediaTek processor, but this does not seem to be the case. However, there is still a small chance that there could be more than one version, or that the leaked bench is not legit.
